Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1887-04-30
General Notes,

Adam Patterson has purchased dozen
work horses of Adam Kune, which will
be sent to Colorado to be utilized on some
OF the grading work there
Alfred Bell, carpenter and builder, is
busy all the time improving and enlarg
ing old residences and putting up new
structures.
George Schuster, of Frisco, passed
through Ogden yesterday en- route for
Malad, where he is in the beer business.
o. p. Arnold, superintendent of the
street car systems in Salt Lake City and
Ogden, was up yesterday to confer about
what might be done in the matter of en-
larging the network OF our lines. A good
deal depends on the erection of the new
depot. When the latter is built the
present line west from Wall street will
become useless and the rails and ties will
be on hand to be laid down to extend
either the line south or that north, or for
branch up to the bench.
Last Wednesday they had a lively
time at Uintah in the building which is
alternately used as a school-house, meet
lighthouse, dance-house, caucus-house
and what else. A dance was being held
-
ing younger and older brethren took
part. 1t was on the occasion of Joseph
Dyes wedding, the newly married couple
having returned with their own team
from Logan. OF course there was plenty
of spirituous comfort consolation. During
the dance intervals Elder Richard Dye
sang rather indicate song, which gave
offense. Ordinations and recrimina-
tons ensued with a language, the force
OF which was entirely wild-western.
One of the young sanity bloods blew a
gale by shouting out loud 'This is s.
of b of a Mormon outfit" or words to
that effect. But the festive youths had
either too little or too much aboard to be
dangerously belligerent, and therefore
the squabble passed all off in "cuss
words"
The arrival, breakfast and departure of
the Queen of the Sandwich Islands Gre
ated almost as much of furore at the
depot yesterday morning as did Queen
Sheba's visit at the court of King Solo,
mon. Priests and laymen, BARRIERS and
bankers, porters and reporters, military
men and civilians, Republicans and
Democrats, Knights of Labor and knights
of the cloth were grouped to get glance
at Her Dusky Majesty. Mr.. Lambert,
of the DeSeret NelOS, was up to receive
her. Did she survive the sanity saluta-
tons?
P P. Shelby, of the U. P, came to
Ogden Friday morning.
Rev. Frank Barnett has been elected
pastor of the Baptist Church for another

1t is said that there are some changes
impending in the Utah Produce and
commission Company, of which John

Plain City, are president and vice-presi-

one OF the main springs of the concern, is
reported as intending to resign forthwith,
IN consequence of the fact that he has
so many other pressing business engage
